Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Thighs with Carrots & Potatoes

A bright, early-spring sheet-pan dinner that leans into what makes March in New Hampshire feel hopeful: sweet carrots, potatoes, and citrus. Crisp-skinned chicken thighs roast alongside tender vegetables, then everything gets a fresh lemon-parsley finish.

Instructions

  1. Prep the oven to 425°F. Pat dry 1 pack 365 by Whole Foods Market Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs ($5.49). Peel or scrub about 8 ounces Organic Carrot Bag ($1.79) and cut into thick sticks. Cut 2 medium Yellow Potatoes ($1.69 total) into 1-inch chunks. Slice 1 small Sweet Onion ($1.43) into wedges. Mince 2 cloves Organic Garlic, 3 CT ($2.89 pack). Zest and juice 1 Lemon ($0.89). Chop 2 tablespoons Italian Parsley ($1.29 bunch).
  2. On a sheet pan, toss the carrots, potatoes, onion, and minced garlic with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
  3. Rub the chicken thighs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and half the lemon zest. Nestle the chicken among the vegetables.
  4. Roast at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and browned.
  5. Drizzle the pan with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, then scatter over the 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Toss the vegetables lightly in the pan juices and serve the chicken over the roasted vegetables.
  6. Pour a juicy Pinot Noir or an unoaked Chardonnay if you'd like a wine pairing.

Cook time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: $15-18

Health notes: About 620-700 calories per serving. High in protein, rich in vitamin A from carrots, and balanced with a moderate starch portion from potatoes. Keep the skin on for flavor or remove after roasting to lighten it up.

Drink pairing: A juicy Pinot Noir works beautifully with roasted chicken and earthy carrots, while an unoaked Chardonnay is great if you want to highlight the lemon and herbs.
